Microneedling in Flowood, MS

There’s a reason microneedling has stuck around as one of the most consistently recommended skin treatments out there — it works with your body instead of against it. Rather than masking a concern temporarily, microneedling triggers your skin’s own natural healing response, encouraging it to produce more collagen and elastin right where you need it most. The result is skin that genuinely improves over time, not skin that just looks good for a weekend.

Where we are

Microneedling That Works Beneath the Surface

At Glo, we offer microneedling for clients dealing with a pretty wide range of concerns — acne scarring that’s been bothering them for years, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture, and that general “my skin just doesn’t look as good as it used to” feeling that’s hard to put into words but easy to notice in the mirror. It’s one of those treatments that works well as a standalone service or as part of a bigger skin health plan alongside facials and peels. We also offer Microneedling Plus PRP for clients who want to take their results even further. Adding your own platelet-rich plasma into the treatment supercharges the healing and collagen-building process, often leading to more noticeable improvement than microneedling alone, especially for stubborn acne scarring or more significant texture concerns.

How Microneedling Actually Works

During treatment, a device with very fine, sterile needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin at a depth that’s precise enough to trigger your body’s wound-healing response without causing visible damage. Your skin responds by producing new collagen and elastin to repair those micro-injuries, which is exactly the response we’re hoping for when it comes to smoothing texture, softening fine lines, and improving the appearance of scarring.

Because the needles also create tiny, temporary channels in the skin, microneedling is often combined with serums or, in the case of Microneedling Plus PRP, your own platelet-rich plasma, allowing those ingredients to penetrate more deeply than they would on intact skin. This is part of why the combination treatment tends to deliver more dramatic results for clients dealing with more significant concerns.

Microneedling Plus PRP

This version takes standard microneedling and adds your own blood-derived platelet-rich plasma into the mix, applying it to the skin during and after the needling process. PRP is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing and amplify collagen production, which often means faster, more noticeable results compared to microneedling alone. It’s a particularly popular option for clients dealing with more stubborn acne scarring, deeper texture irregularities, or significant sun damage who want to maximize what a single treatment can accomplish.

What Microneedling Can Help With

Acne scarring, including the kind that’s been around for years and hasn’t responded to other treatments. Enlarged or visibly textured pores. Fine lines and early signs of aging. Uneven skin texture and tone. General skin laxity, particularly when combined with our Scarlet RF Microneedling option for more pronounced tightening. Overall dullness and that lack of glow that tends to come with age, sun exposure, and time.

What makes microneedling especially appealing to a lot of our Flowood clients is how versatile it is. Whether you’re in your twenties and dealing with acne scarring from your teenage years, or you’re noticing your skin’s texture and firmness starting to shift as you get older, microneedling can be tailored to your specific concern rather than offering a single generic outcome for everyone who walks through the door.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

We start every microneedling appointment with a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment, which typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes depending on the area being treated. Afterward, your skin will likely look flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, for about 24 to 48 hours. Most clients are comfortable returning to normal activities the next day, though we’ll go over specific aftercare instructions, including the importance of diligent SPF use, before you leave. Results build gradually over the following weeks as your body’s natural collagen production ramps up, with many clients seeing the most noticeable improvement around four to six weeks after treatment. For more significant concerns like established acne scarring, a series of three to four sessions spaced about four weeks apart tends to produce the most meaningful, lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many microneedling sessions will I actually need to see results?

Many clients notice some improvement in skin texture and glow after just one session, but more significant concerns like established acne scarring typically require a series of three to four treatments spaced about four weeks apart for meaningful, lasting results. We’ll give you a realistic estimate during your consultation based on your specific skin concerns rather than a generic number that might not apply to your situation. Maintenance sessions every few months can also help sustain results long-term.

Does microneedling hurt, and how long is the recovery?

We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment, which keeps most of the discomfort to a minimum — most clients describe it as a mild scratching or vibrating sensation rather than significant pain. Afterward, your skin will likely look flushed and feel a bit tight or warm for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn, and most people are comfortable returning to normal activities the following day with proper SPF protection.

What’s the actual difference between regular microneedling and Microneedling Plus PRP?

Standard microneedling relies entirely on the controlled micro-injuries to trigger your skin’s natural healing and collagen production. Microneedling Plus PRP adds your own platelet-rich plasma into the treatment, which is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing and amplify the collagen-building response. The PRP version often produces more noticeable results, particularly for more stubborn scarring or texture concerns, though it does come at a higher price point than standard microneedling alone.

Can microneedling actually get rid of acne scars completely, or just improve their appearance?

Microneedling is unlikely to completely erase deep or severe acne scarring in a single treatment series, but it can produce significant, visible improvement in the depth and appearance of scarring over a series of sessions. For more severe scarring, we may recommend combining microneedling with other treatments like chemical peels for a more complete approach. We’ll set realistic expectations with you based on the specific type and severity of scarring you’re dealing with.

Is microneedling safe for all skin types and skin tones?

Microneedling is generally considered safe across a wide range of skin types and tones, which is part of why it’s such a popular option compared to some treatments that carry more risk for deeper skin tones. That said, certain skin conditions like active acne breakouts, eczema flare-ups, or certain infections may mean we recommend waiting or choosing a different treatment approach. We’ll evaluate your specific skin during your consultation to confirm you’re a good candidate.

How soon will I see results after a microneedling session?

Initial improvements like a healthy glow can show up within several days as inflammation settles, but the real collagen-building benefits take longer to develop, typically becoming most noticeable around four to six weeks after treatment as your skin continues producing new collagen and elastin. This is part of why we recommend planning your sessions well ahead of any major event, rather than scheduling it the week before.

Can I combine microneedling with other treatments like facials or chemical peels?

Yes, and a lot of our Flowood clients build a combined skincare plan that includes periodic microneedling sessions alongside regular facials or peels. We just space more intensive treatments like microneedling and peels apart appropriately so your skin has adequate time to heal between sessions. During your consultation, we can talk through how to combine services in a way that maximizes results without overdoing it.

Is Microneedling Plus PRP worth the extra cost compared to standard microneedling?

It depends on what you’re treating and how quickly you want to see results. For general skin maintenance or mild texture concerns, standard microneedling often delivers great results on its own. For more stubborn acne scarring, deeper texture irregularities, or significant sun damage, the added growth factors from PRP can make a meaningful difference in your outcome, which is why many clients feel the additional investment is worthwhile for more significant concerns specifically.

How is microneedling different from Scarlet RF Microneedling?

Standard microneedling relies solely on the mechanical micro-injuries from the needles to trigger collagen production. Scarlet RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles, which generates heat that causes immediate collagen contraction in addition to the longer-term remodeling response, resulting in more noticeable skin tightening alongside the texture and scarring benefits. If skin laxity is a primary concern for you, Scarlet RF Microneedling may be a more appropriate fit, and we can talk through that option as well during your visit.
